Lyrics
The Captain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Coming home after a long, long walk
Coming home after a dozen of walks
Coming home after a long, long war
Coming home after a dozen of wars
We are out of wind
We have pockmarked chin
We have lots of water
We turn the other cheek and we win
One thousand stories and there's always more
We've been offered one more lap to go
In my hand I hold a key
It's dear to me 'cause I know where it leads
We are out of wind
We have pockmarked chin
We have all this water
We turn the other cheek with a grin
